If you recall, Imran Awan is Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s former IT staffer who was arrested for bank fraud after attempting to flee the country. Before his attempted escape, the FBI raided his home and found a ton of smashed hard drives. He has a bunch of completely bizarre financial dealings and is an all around sketchy dude. Since then, McFrizz released this statement:
“After details of the investigation were reviewed with us, my office was provided no evidence to indicate that laws had been broken, which over time, raised troubling concerns about due process, fair treatment and potential ethnic and religious profiling,” she said. “Upon learning of his arrest, he was terminated.”
Ethnic and religious profiling. Yeah. Suuuuure. That’s what this is about. He was just an innocent staffer hiding a bunch of smashed hard drives. There’s absolutely NOTHING weird or concerning about that.
By the way, this dude was still on the congressional payrolls LAST WEEK.
As if that’s not bad enough, Judge Napolitano believes Awan sold US secrets to foreign agents.
“He was arrested for some financial crime. That’s the tip of the iceberg,” Napolitano said. “The real crime against him was that he had contact, he had access to emails of every member of Congress and he sold what he found in there. What did he sell and to whom did he sell it. That’s what the FBI wants to know. This may be a very, very serious national security investigation.”

The National Review provides more perspective:
As you let all that sink in, consider this: Awan and his family cabal of fraudsters had access for years to the e-mails and other electronic files of members of the House’s Intelligence and Foreign Affairs Committees. It turns out they were accessing members’ computers without their knowledge, transferring files to remote servers, and stealing computer equipment — including hard drives that Awan & Co. smashed to bits of bytes before making tracks.
They were fired in February. All except Awan, that is. He continued in the employ of Wasserman Schultz, the Florida Democrat, former DNC chairwoman, and Clinton crony. She kept him in place at the United States Congress right up until he was nabbed at the airport on Monday. This is not about bank fraud. The Awan family swindles are plentiful, but they are just window-dressing. This appears to be a real conspiracy, aimed at undermining American national security.
Um, holy crap? Eh– who am I kidding. Nothing to see here. This story will evaporate soon enough, because Democrats.
